[Announce] N9Tweak v0.2-6.1
 
I have made a litte user friendly app for some hacks available on N9. Firstly cause i am lazy and reflash the device pretty frequently but also to make it safer enabling the hacks. Currently the latest version is v0.2-5. Look in the first picture for examples what hack it does. The pics are little bit old.. n9tweak are a bit more competent now. ;)

Still beta quality.. so it might have some bugs. Be careful when you use it.

Install it through the browser and make sure you have "allow other sources" set in settings and developer-mode activated.

As i am a poor unemplyed dude i made this for donations Donate!

had to reboot to see icon but it works.. also it seems the text wraps sooner than first version, if you get what I mean

No, sorry.. don't follow exactly what you mean. What text is wraping sooner?

AlMehdi 2011-11-28 15:11

Re: [Announce] N9Tweak
 
Hmm.. that did not look good. It doesn't look that bad for me if i use the virtual keyboard. Are you on PR1.0 or PR1.1? Maybe i could shrink it little more but else i don't know if anything could be done. Is it readable?

Re: [Announce] N9Tweak
 
Btw.. if someone are aware of some hack/tweak and thinks it would suit good with n9tweak. Feel free to tip me in the right direction.

There is some cool stuff in here AlMehdi. Great work! I didn't install it because as it turns out I had most of it already tweaked on my device. :-). But I owe you big thanks for showing me how to restart home/lock screens etc via initctl.

Thanks!!

Re: [Announce] N9Tweak v0.1-6
 
Nice to be at service Steve ;)

Have new hack for next version.. it is called bounce. It could be particulary good for the screen lock clock. When on screen lock screen you tap once and it will jump right and show more of the text. So you could fit more than just the time.

Re: [Announce] N9Tweak v0.1-6
 
Looks interesting - will give it a try. There is a thread somewhere about increasing the volume using alsamixer... here. This works but there was a suggestion it reverts after a reset and maybe your wicked tool could be employed to help that...

Hmm.. you are right. Didn't think of that. Best would be to have alsactl tough.. but as that does not exist yet my tool could make it easier to set. Will try to put it in the next version or maybe the one after that.

look at everythingn9.com for all the mods already made for n9? and compile them in your n9tweak:)

hope there is a mod to add more smiley to the default one

It must have failed to install.. do you see anything if you write "ls /opt/n9tweak" in terminal?

almedhi,

you are a valuable piece of this community and i, amongst others, appreciate your time and expertise put into each and every offering.


i was curious if there was anyway to get all of the apps to recognize landscape mode. it does not make much sense for landscape mode to work and then having to hold it portrait in apps like calc, phone, and others. thank you in advance

Re: [Announce] N9Tweak v0.1-6
 
Thank you AlMehdi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please! Make easy UI and publish it to the ovi store!! Finaly Landscape and it working very nice. I do not know why this is not default in N9

I have tried to find ways to enable in all places but have yet not found a way. The hack just take advantage of what Nokia already offered but was a "hidden" setting. I will continue to look but can't promise i find anything.

I will not publish to Ovi Store as it is hacks.. i do not think it will pass QA. I might put it in the Community "store" over at http://apps.formeego.com though.

Re: [Announce] N9Tweak v0.1-6
 
Then do only "landscape enabler". I think that is not hack and it will pass.

Re: [Announce] N9Tweak v0.1-6
 
are you able to add enable SSH root access option?

what you enter in xterm is:

Code:

echo -e 'mkdir -m 0755 -p /var/run/sshd\nexec /usr/sbin/sshd $SSHD_OPTS' >> /etc/default/ssh
pkill -9 /usr/sbin/sshd

would be cool, thanks

Opss... sorry.. accidentally removed it. I have a new build ready soon. Just need to bug test little more. I noticed that setting auto-als to manual make it impossible to come out of lock-screen. So i need to solve it or it will be removed. After that i think i have tested it enough for release.

My plan is to get it to community repo eventually.. just want it to get more stable first.

Can you upload a vid of bounce and how can I manually do the mod for it?

Yeah, bounce would need a video but i don't have the hardware for it i am afraid. But when on lock-screen and you tap.. you wil see it go right little. I have tweaked this to go a whole screen which make it possible to add a lot more text to lock-screen clock. When doing this i also aligned the date lable to left instead of right.

All hacks are in /opt/n9tweak/n9tweak.. in text form.. am not using any binary.

It changes the values of /usr/share/themes/base/meegotouch/libsysuid-screenlock-nokia/style/libsysuid-screenlock-nokia.css:
Code:

    bounce-animation-from-edge-duration: 150;
    bounce-animation-to-edge-duration: 600;
    bounce-animation-horizontal-move-delta: 30;

Any chance we can apply a setting on phone startup? It's annoying reapplying the volume hack all the time.

Hmm.. then it is installed. You should be able to start it with just writing "n9tweak" too.. I am using a terminal logo. So you might have confused that?

If you write "ls /usr/share/application/n9" what do you get?
